Today, a server suddenly failed to start, error: Server exiting:could not open ID file
After a few seconds the boot interface disappears and the boot fails.
Version: Domino 7.0.3, Win server R2
The following methods of failure were checked online:
1. Add the following parameters:
Servercontroller=1
tcpip_controllertcpipaddress=10.10.10.5:2050
2. Check that the path to Keyfilename and cert IDs in Notes.ini is consistent with the actual file path, and if not, you need to modify it. I haven't seen any abnormalities since I checked.
3. Remove the Keyfilename parameter from the path name, which is changed from Keyfilename=...\some path\server.id to Kefilename=server.id, as I do, the problem remains.
4. Restart the server, the problem remains.
5. Use the SC command to remove the Domino from Windows Startup service, then rebuild one, restart the system, the problem remains
Finally, a colleague reminded me that when he was maintaining the Notes client, he had encountered an ID file corruption. I try to replace the files in the data directory with Server.id and cert.id in the backup, start the Nserver.exe, success!
This problem scares me right away to check the ID of the other server and Notes.ini there is no backup ...
